“Gorgeous Garnacha! From a tiny plot (1.2ha) of old vines, north of the spectacular Bardenas Reales desert. A somewhat wild character - black pepper and minty garrigue – gives way to delicious raspberry, red cherry and cola which is framed by a punchy, tannic grip. Nine months in amphora and cement enhance the texture with wet stone and morish minerality.”
TASTING NOTES |So pure, fresh, and clean, you may not believe this fits the natural wine category (spoiler: it does). Evolved, generous wild red fruit and herb aromas with cassis sweetness, chocolate, and wild cherry fruit flavors. Wild, natural, and totally drinkable..
